Ellipsoid Constructor

WRAPPER_API Ellipsoid()

WRAPPER_API Ellipsoid(const Ellipsoid &source)

Description

The Ellipsoid constructor creates a new instance of the Ellipsoid class.  There are two signatures for this constructor.  The default constructor takes no arguments and produces an Ellipsoid that has a SemiMajor radius of one meter, a SemiMinor radius of 1 meter, and InvFlatDefinitive set to true.  The second constructor is a copy-constructor, which produces an Ellipsoid with a value equal to the Ellipsoid passed as argument.

Example

void Ellipsoid_Ellipsoid(GEOCALCPBW_NAMESPACE::DataSource & data)

{

GEOCALCPBW_NAMESPACE::Ellipsoid ell;

GEOCALCPBW_NAMESPACE::LinearValue semiMaj;

semiMaj.set_InMeters(6378137);

ell.set_SemiMajor(semiMaj);

ell.set_InvFlatDefinitive(true);

ell.set_InverseFlattening(298.257223563);

GEOCALCPBW_NAMESPACE::GeodeticPoint * fromPt = data.GetGeodeticPoint(L"BMG", L"GEODETIC_POINT_DEGREES");

GEOCALCPBW_NAMESPACE::GeodeticPoint * toPt = data.GetGeodeticPoint(L"BMG", L"GEODETIC_POINT_DEGREES");

fromPt->set_InUnits(-77.36, 45.45);

double azimuth = 1.004;

double geodesic = 1336;

if(! ell.ComputeDirect(*fromPt, geodesic, azimuth, *toPt))

{

AfxMessageBox("ComputeDirect failed");

}

delete fromPt;

delete toPt;
